Romandie Stage 4 weather report

By Anthony Tan in Sion

Finally, some good weather: Stage 4, the first weekend stage of the 2006 Tour de Romandie, is predicted to be held under baby blue skies and plenty of sunshine. However, with three Category 1 ascents all past 1,150 metres above sea level, the mercury will vary throughout the day, expected to be in the range of 7-14°C. According to Météo Suisse, a 10-25km/h wind will be blowing from the west; riders will therefore need to adjust their position/rotation in the peloton or break over the course of the three loops to be completed today.
